NOTE: All national ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.

Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

I can just hear the exec @ NBC now, “Hmmm … a reality show with a “salute to our military” theme … add a Palin to the mix for some controversy … that’s always good for some press … then promote it heavily during the Olympics … how can it fail???” THUD!!!

Somebody at the network should be losing their job over this fiasco. Instead, they probably got a bonus.

LA COMPLEX GETTING SOME GOOD RATINGS IN ITS NEW TIMESLOT!

Go Mark Pedowitz you will get that low rated network turned around 2-4 years from now.

Even on holidays – Ramsey wins – I see why Fox held the 2 more popular shows for tonite – HK & MC – Hotel Hell was a nice replacement for a holiday and still had something new to show.

NBC ADDS PREVIEW OF NEW COMEDY ‘THE NEW NORMAL’ ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 TO FOLLOW SEASON DEBUT OF ‘THE VOICE’

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – September 4, 2012 – NBC will add a series preview of its new comedy “The New Normal” on Monday, September 10 (10-10:30 p.m. ET) following the season premiere of “The Voice” (8-10 p.m. ET). “The New Normal” will premiere in its regular day and time on the following night – Tuesday, September 11 (9:30-10 p.m. ET) – with a new episode.
In addition, the preview pilot of the series will have an encore broadcast on Wednesday, September 12 (10:30-11 p.m. ET), giving “The New Normal” three consecutive days of broadcasts.
These days, families come in all forms – single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors… It’s 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells, “Girls,” “The Book of Mormon”) and David (Justin Bartha, “The Hangover”) are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King, “One Day”), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Emmy and Tony Award-winner Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight year-old daughter. Desperate and broke – but also fertile – Goldie quickly becomes the guys’ surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.

Ryan Murphy serves as creator/executive producer and director along with creator/executive producer Ali Adler (“Glee,” “Chuck”) and executive producer Dante Di Loreto (“Glee,” “American Horror Story”). “The New Normal” is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ryan Murphy Productions.

I could see LA Complex getting renewed for another season next summer. The show isn’t a hit, but it’s consistent & not costly.

Oliver

So NBC are showing the second episode of The New Normal following Go On?

NBC’s scheduling is such a confusing mess.

Ultima

@OliverSo NBC are showing the second episode of The New Normal following Go On?

Yes

PHIL

@Lance Stars Earn Stripes is a great concept but they needed younger contestants and sponsorship from game companies.

debsafan

NBC is run by a bunch of idiots. If they had left Grimm on Fridays it would have been alright. At least they are going to give it a fighting chance by putting it back on Fridays. I’d hate to lose Grimm because of the powers that be dont’ know how to run a network.

Petar

Good move from NBC. Really dump to waste The voice premiere for friday show. But i agree its mess, but created from NBC. Why they desided to put Grimm there in the first place? Bad decision making?

Ultima

@debsafanNBC is run by a bunch of idiots. If they had left Grimm on Fridays it would have been alright.

Grimm’s ratings are up ~13%… in the summer!

I seriously don’t get all of the complaining. How does more people seeing the show hurt the ratings? Sure, they’ll have to extend the episode order or end the season a bit early, so what? Are people not aware of how bad NBC is doing, especially when it comes to dramas? They have a grand total of two dramas that aired in 2010-11 that are still on the air. If Grimm averages at 1.4 (maybe less) on Friday, it’s essentially a lock for at least four seasons…

xRockStarz

Just Off-Topic, but do you really think CW has still a chance to get better ratings? I mean the contract with the CW-affiliates ends 2016 and Mark Pedowitz needs to get more hits till then?! I hope that Mark will make it, but realistically, is that possible?! I hope it, because I have 3 of my favourite-Shows on CW and I dont want the network to close…. Which rating-average needs CW to go on? 1,5? 1,0?

Sry 4 my englisch, i live in europe.

L.A. Complex is doing good.

Getmilk

Hoping The LA Complex doesn’t get adjusted down because that would mean a series high. Hope it continues to do well to get picked up for another season. I LOVE this show!

Here’s a preview for next week’s episode:

rob60990

The LA Complex is not doing good. UGH. lol. A series high of not even a million viewers isn’t the slightest bit impressive.

Getmilk

rob60990: that’s true. But hopefully more people will be able to tune in and discover the show on its new night and time. I’ve read on Twitter and Facebook about lots of viewers missing the show because they were under the impression it still airs on Tuesdays.

This show is performing slightly poorer than The Next on The CW but probably cost considerably less. If it came down to those two for renewal, I hope The CW chooses The LA Complex.

The Next is such a flop show so far. Will they have live shows as well? Maybe it’ll do better. Doubt it.

Grimm is not on next Mon. NBC is going to show the “New Normal” so I was correct when I mentioned it was coming back Sept 28:}

SarahL

I don’t get the complaints about Grimm airing on Monday nights either. The show has done well considering everything.Yes, a ton of people don’t watch it, but is a good sci fi show pulling a solid 18 to 49 demo on a Friday night. If some extra Monday night viewers follow Grimm to Friday nights and watch live, then this experience will have been a major success as it would stave off any naturally occurring attrition.

Christina

… The L.A. Complex can be hit… look at Buffy, The Vampire, Slayer… they said, it didn’t become popular, until later on in the season.
